I am planning on upgrading to this phone but there are a few downsides that are important to consider for anyone thinking about picking it up (for United States customers)
1. Cellular bands. Right now Asus doesn't have a good record with utilizing most of the common cellular bands in the United States (as seen with Asus' ZenFone). Definitely pay attention to this when the phone becomes available to purchase online.
2. The Camera. It is totally fine for most users, but if the camera is extremely important to you I would look elsewhere. I personally don't take a ton of pictures, but I know it matters to most people, your milage may vary.
3. PAY ATTENTION TO WHERE YOU BUY THIS PHONE. I would wait until Asus has links from their website before you consider purchasing one. There are too many Tencent versions of the phone from china floating around. While it has all the specs, the cellular bands supported do not match up nicely with the US. Wait for a US release
They managed to fit all those specs in there with a big battery AND a headphone jack?? Might consider upgrading this phone.
the 128GB 8GB Ram is only $600 at ebay
good they reduce price to cover Zenphone 6 lost of revenue due to lack of support and a lot of issue and dead with in very short time of usage..
but still with this price will wait for feedback from users.
I dont see GSM arena but the 128GB 8GB RAM in the list
I'll definitely spend my money on this than any other apple brands! Apple sucks btw!

Anonymous, 10 Sep 2019possibly the resolution of the screen. 1080p? Admittedly it's 19.5:9 but still, cold of stretc... more1080p is perfect for gaming and this is a gaming phone and you doesn't sound like one so why are you here?
Hey GSMArena, according to ROG's site, it has band 66. Good for people who live in the east coast on T-Mobile who are contemplating this phone in the US.

Anonymous, 10 Sep 2019possibly the resolution of the screen. 1080p? Admittedly it's 19.5:9 but still, cold of stretc... morePretty sure they did 1080p because its a gaming phone, they need to make sure the phone can do over 120 fps on games on good graphics, and i think 1440p wouldn't have behaved well. Thats my theory.
Almost had me there until I saw the camera review on yt. Another year or two and I think Asus might be on top if they keep moving forward and include a good camera.
Shinji, 09 Sep 2019Can't wait for the review - all I need is to know that the headphone output is as good as LG's... moreMe too. My LG V20 is begging for retirement..
